A thing is funny when — in some way that is not actually offensive or frightening — it upsets the established order. Every joke is a tiny revolution. If you had to define humour in a single phrase, you might define it as dignity sitting on a tin-tack. Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny. And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1945-07-28), “Funny, But Not Vulgar,” Leader Magazine

Orwell - Every joke is a tiny revolution.

But isn't it nice when it's something more!

"Racism is the expression and exercise of a power relationship."
"You don't vote far right out of misunderstanding or lack of education but to defend a racial order."
"You've achieved a little status and you don't want to be robbed of the fruits of your labour."

… translated from Dr. Félicien Faury (fr): https://peertube.stream/w/heJhX85bBz4Xr2XQZ6mPqp

Ralph Wardlaw, Scottish Congregationalist minister, says there are cases of poverty which require a refusal because of character.

Harsh? I’ve heard of development orgs giving to women, per se, over men because the husbands wasted $ on booze & gambling, but women invested in their children.

How can you be careful with your donations, yet avoid \withholding from all, based on stereotypes about “character”?

"There may be cases of poverty which require to be treated with firmness, and with steady refusal; - but not on account of the poverty, but of the character with which it is associated."

No comment necessary.

Suffering from school

Over many years: the fewer qualifications you have, the more you abstain or vote far right.
"The socio-demographic variable most predictive of the Rassemblement National vote - over a very long period of time, this is a very, very stable result - is the level of education."

In France, "the poll scores of the far right are higher [where] people with few qualifications, blue-collar workers or pensioners, who own their own home and drive to work, are over-represented."

1. Scarcity exists (including your body)
2. People have wants
3. Conflict potential from 1 + 2 arises
4. Value is subjective
5. Subjectively, some (criminals) decides it's worth to initiate #violence over these scarce resources
6. Demand for #SocialOrder arises

So let's use #Democracy (tyranny over minority) to assign #State officials to have #monopoly on violence so "obviously" no criminals will ever rule us... 😂

#Doomster - We are in #collapse & if we refuse to accept this we risk making a bad situation much worse. The massive new infrastructure projects of the so-called #greenenergy transition will be underwater, burnt or lack resources or labour to even complete. Instead, if we accept the reality of #climatebreakdown, we have chance to make amends, save as much of the natural world as possible while we still have relatively intact society w #socialorder to get things done. https://medium.com/@renaeech/responding-to-rebecca-solnits-article-in-the-guardian-on-doomers-a12b0f8106e9

Morality safeguards social order, shielding against selfishness, corruption, and unrest. When morals erode, evils flourish. The only solution: staying steadfast to moral principles ✨🌟 #SocialOrder #Morals #Harmony #Pakistan

From Dave Karpf:

I found this really insightful:

Huxley's Electorate

Women's Rights
#WomensRights #women
best known for A Vindication of the #RightsofWoman (1792), in which she argues that women are not naturally inferior to men, but appear to be only because they lack #education. She suggests that both men and women should be treated as #rationalbeings and imagines a #socialorder founded on #reason https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Wollstonecraft

We will also deal with the understandings of #ensoulment #originalsin #socialorder #fetus #dignity #lifeofmother and hopefully #patriarchy

Turns out a power-hungry elite around prime minister #ManassehSogavare have sold the #SolomonIslands to #China just to secure their power.
One of the provisions of the highly controversial #security deal is that the government can call in riot police and even military from China to maintain #socialorder.

#TiananmenMassacre and #oppression with Chinese characteristics going on a Pacific Tour. Speaking of selling out, shame on the government of Solomon Islands. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/14/we-needed-china-deal-to-protect-domestic-security-says-key-solomon-islands-official
